ONLINE "NON-EMERGENCY" INCIDENT REPORTING AVAILABLE

With the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)across the globe, The Lower Saucon Township Police and CRIMEWATCH has seen the need to better protect our first responders from catching or spreading the virus. We believe that CRIMEWATCH can help you reduce unnecessary physical contact for non-emergency incidents.

As such, CRIMEWATCH has developed an Online Reporting System for the Lower Saucon Township Police Department, FREE of charge.

UNUSED MEDICATION - TAKE BACK BOX - AVAILABLE 24hrs a day

Residents who have expired or unused over-the-counter and prescription medications are able to discard those medications in a MedReturn drug collection unit, which is located in the front lobby of the Lower Saucon Police Department at 3700 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bethlehem.
